My thoughts on the strategies to getting to 10% body fat:

Staying a caloric deficit for an extended period to get very lean is as much of an art as it is a science.

And achieving an extreme level of body composition requires more than just conscious effort and will-power. It will take strategy, planning, mental resilience and knowing yourself.

As you have heard us discuss this topic in the video, it's clear that cultivating patience plays a key role in successful dieting.

It's difficult to stay objective if your goal is to get to the result as fast as possible. You start making mistakes and lose objectivity.

The reality is, sometimes it takes a whole month to see whether you've made any fat loss progress.

The scale number won't go down, and you'll be confused. What happened? Why has the calorie deficit stopped working?

Now, while you might truly be in a fat loss plateau (where you need to adjust energy balance) more often than not it's water retention that's hiding progress. I've talked about the difference at    • Water Retention vs Fat Loss | How To Reduc...  

In a caloric deficit to get to 10% body fat, cortisol goes up which increases water retention.

When people don't see the scale moving down, they instinctively cut calories fast instead of waiting to confirm if they're actually in a plateau.

Rushing progress with rapid adjustments often compromises diet adherence.

You get hungry, start "cheating," IIFYM diet becomes a bit too flexible, you start eating food from a friend's plate at a restaurant, late night binges, and of course, you soon wipe out your weekly deficit.

And you find yourself at maintenance calories while mentally still being "on a diet."

This is usually accompanied by guilt followed by periods of severe dietary restriction which can turn into a negative cycle.

And a lot of people just give up on fat loss completely.

The truth is, it might have just taken 1-2 more weeks of data to see results.

Lesson: When in doubt, gather data and practice patience.

Otherwise, as in the example above, you might end up gaining and losing the same 10 lbs of fat for a whole year.
